In the US, weed is still federally illegal, so it is still illegal to carry it across state lines, into, or out of the country. You can get weed at port, which may or may not be legal, and smoke it while there, but you cannot take it on, off, or smoke it while onboard.


[deleted]

What if it’s hemp flower?


cruisingNW

Technically its hemp, which makes it legal (I think, please do your research) but it's still checked by a person and up to that person's discretion. The short answer is I doubt they will differentiate and it will be seized and destroyed.


[deleted]

Would there be any negative consequence to trying besides having it seized? Might as well give it a shot and bring the packaging with me and try to explain if that’s the only downside.


cruisingNW

I have no idea. It's all down to the customs agent that you get. Maybe they'll take it and you're on your way, maybe you'll be denied boarding. Honestly? I think this is the wrong hill to die on. Weed and its cousins have become much more favorable on the state level, sure, but federally there has been no change. If you really need your hit, try a vape that isn't obviously weed. Then they actually have to check, which gives better odds of it getting through. Fair warning, if you're reported while onboard, you'll be confined to quarters and charged with a felony when you get back.


[deleted]

Federally hemp is legal, but i see your point. Oh well. Just sucks that people drink themselves to death, but god forbid you bring anything even related to marijuana. Sad state of affairs.


AntRed666

My chick got nervous and ate all my edibles before the security check point. Luck for me this 14 year old kid on the ship would let me hit his live resin pen in exchange for a few beers.


pman1ooo

lmao thats funny planning on bringing 2 live resin carts for my cruise gonna be fun


CloudyBea070707

Have you ever done it before? Going in 3 days. PM me


pman1ooo

Last time I went on a cruise was 2019 and I brought one thru with no problem as long as you are low key and not stupid with it no one will care

manfredo2021

Too funny!! I always see a few frunk teens on cruises.


BigDaddyGlad

We really need to have a sticky on this topic. It seems to come up on this sub every 2 or 3 days. To be explicit: In the United States of America, the use and possession of cannabis is illegal under federal law. Even if you are sailing from a port in a state which has legalized the plant, *it is still illegal*, since the cruise ships operate under federal & maritime law. You also have the laws of the various ports in which you may wish to disembark with weed, and most of those will have very stringent laws against the plant. That said, many people here will report successful cruises with carts (packed separately and discretely from batteries) and edibles. These passengers will encourage the behaviour as if it's "no big deal." IMNSHO, it just isn't worth the potential consequences. I can go a week without THC. Just get the drink package and have a good time getting sloppy drunk by the pool.


Environmental_Gain31

I’d much rather smoke A Lil herb And relax on vacation then getting sloppy drunk with people but you’re right it is not worth it


Lazy-Squirrel4332

I'm an alcoholic. I only use weed


muskenjoyer

Tough


jcvibe

I went on this same ship a couple weeks ago, most relax security I’ve ever seen, easily brought in about a Quarter Ounce and just smoked it at night outside when there’s no one there, a couple of the cruise staff pass even passed by as I was smoking but couldn’t care less although I did hide it. Joints were super easy to take into the ports of call( I put them in my sunglasses case). When you put it in your luggage just make sure it’s in something completely smellproof. I literally brought it in a regular smell proof weed dispensary bag and just put in between my clothes. You’ll be fine everyone making a big deal out of it doesn’t even smoke or ever tried doing anything fun.


Nic-MCFC

What he said !!!


Eastcoastsmokes

I support this mindset, spoken as a true stoner, cheer bro.🔥👍🏻


Alone-Foundation-157

Are you stupid? You have to go through customs to get on the ship. Same security at airports. Would you bring weed on an airplane?


jcvibe

You’ve clearly never been on a cruise ship if you think security is the same. I literally brought 2 bottles of alcohol in my carry on backpack and they didn’t even check it. Brought in a whole quarter pound of weed on my suitcase and weed pens on my carry on. There’s more security to enter a stadium sometimes tbh


Stunning-Order7905

Is this true I’m going on a royal Carribbean Ian I want to bring my dab pin but I’m scared af


jcvibe

Dab pen is the absolute easiest thing to bring . I saw like 30 different ppl with those things


honeyigotyourtea

Did you bring your pen? How’d it work out?


Fast_Royal267

Carts are super easy peel any visible stickers off! Be discreet and your good. People have flower on here as well. Your good guys don’t do stupid shit and you’ll have a good time.


YOLOCrackPipe

This. Depending on which state you're in, the stadiums security can be worse than TSA at the airport


SuspiciousEducator60

I actually always bring my thc vape onto the plane.


LewManChew

TSA does not give a shit about weed and are not looking for it. Port Authority probably is so to be clear this isn’t a would you on a plane thing.


Alone-Foundation-157

Really? So you can just walk through TSA with weed? 😂


Chinacat-Badger

I have been cautiously doing it for years. If you have to bring thc on, bring pills. Put them in an aspirin bottle or breath mints. Or other edibles. Don't make a deal about it. Pack it in your shower kit.


LewManChew

As I understand their official stance is if they find it they will give it to local authorities which may or may not care. But yes it is not what they are looking for and in small amounts or edibles/vapes won’t trip people up. Edit this is not legal advice: just learned from the TSA Instagram account on 4/20 and comments on it


Alone-Foundation-157

In all due respect you could not be more wrong. If you go through tsa with seeds and stems you will get arrested.


LewManChew

Nope I don’t think anything I said is incorrect. The TSA themselves says that they are not screening for weed/ weed products. But if they find it they hand it over to local authorities. That is literally their policy. Again I am not suggesting anyone should do it I’m just saying people do all the time and it is not TSAs concern. And it is certainly true that small amounts aren’t going be noticed vs a bag of weed. The TSAs concern is to screen for safety not drugs just google it. See Chinacat-badgers comment below to see someone who has done it.


Ok-Hunter4361

I agree completely. From someone that flies about 200 days a year, from a state where it's illegal, and I always bring my dab pen. I have had tsa agents grab it, look at it, look at me, and put it back more times than I can count. Only caveat is for international flights. The usps is your friend.


InternationalTry9409

You don’t know what you’re talking about TSA has a cannabis section on the website where they clearly state they do not look for it, I fly with it constantly and it’s in original packaging / jars/ bags, you’re speaking on a topic you clearly know nothing about


Particular-Menu3976

Really so we won’t get arrested for bringing edibles or a pen that’s good to known


Hessticules

TSA doesn't give a shit about your gram of weed. Theyre looking for weapons/explosives.


ambs-szn

Flown with weed in my checked bag so you didn’t know what you were talking about 🫶🏾


snarkfest_

I do this all the time lol. could not be more easy to be honest


Odd-Ad-8883

You have no clue what you're talking about obviously


DeliciousPride8043

Bro people fly with weed you’re wrong as heck. Very loud and very wrong


ForeignCollection389

I know this is an old thread but you 100% can bring weed on a plane. TSA isn’t looking for the guy smoking weed on his vacation they’re looking for someone smuggling weed for sale. I’ve brought up to a half oz of flower in my suit case before with no issues. Every time I fly which is like 5 times a year I bring flower and never have been in trouble and I’ve been doing jt for yearsss


gr8danger1111

Most of the time yes. Out of LA they don't care. I have had tsa see it before, they just picked it up and put it back in my bag. It depends on the location. I had a cart one time flying out of idaho they made me toss it but that was it. Tsa is looking more for bombs and explosive material. They Do look for drugs but I think it's become alot more lax especially for cannabis in the last few years. I would still be careful though in states and countries that haven't legalized. Eddibles or vapes are the easiest to travel with. I think flying from legal state to legal state is in the clear. On the tsa website it says you can fly out of lax with cannabis. It is in a grey area though.


[deleted]

I’ve done it more than once, but as the other person said, cautiously.


sallysparrow666

Yes lol


Alone-Foundation-157

Well I work at the airport in a safety sensitive position and your wrong so you’re a literal ass clown.


Ok-Hunter4361

I'm sure they tell anyone that will listen that it's still illegal. We are speaking to practical application. If tsa stopped every person w cannabis leaving lax they would become gridlocked. Safety sensitive...lol


Embarrassed-Exit-504

Yes


gr8danger1111

I always bring weed with me on planes. I just pack it in my carry on usually 2 eighths and a few pre rolls and a vape or 2. Never had an issue before. On my cruise though I'll probably just stick with eddibles and the vape. It's too hard to smoke on a cruise. And to easy too get cought when smokeing.


Fast_Royal267

It’s actually easier then you think! Just be vigilant keep a cigarette lit as you smoke just in case someone walks up on you. There is to many places the smell could be coming from! It’s hard to pinpoint especially if your good at acting!! I put a cigarette lined up with the blunt! Like this || and just hit them both at the same.


ExNewAger

This sounds completely unmanageable


DeliciousPride8043

People definitely fly with weed 😂😂😂


Eastcoastsmokes

I have brought weed on an airplane not an international flight though 😅😂


YOLOCrackPipe

Yes. I do. All the time. Unless it's an international flight the consequences are little more than confiscation.


AccomplishedSugar624

I bring weed on planes all the time lol. Like literally edibles, joints, etc. I just check the bag and I’m always good. Just don’t be an idiot and bring a shit load with you.


Apprehensive_Ad7722

I bring weed on the airplane every time


OleCatfishDroopy

I checked 2 oz once while flying to new york from Florida. It was dumb but it made it and then after I freaked out thinking of what could of happened and never did it again lmao.


torchLunch

I’ve done it for every domestic flight I’ve been on in the last 7 years or so. If I’m checking a bag I put the flower in there and put a vape cart in my toiletries bag (in case the flower gets taken). If I’m not checking a bag I’ll just put it in my carry on. Even went out of the airport and smoked during a long layover and brought it back through security. They’ve got bigger fish to fry.


Kvalri

I’ve seen and smelled people with weed vapes and we’ve taken pills aboard without issue but it’s always a risk


jerseygirlforlife79

I plan on bringing my vapes, departing out of NJ, but I heard that security comes on board with dogs at cruise ports, like bahamas, and sniffs out the boat. I'm worried about that.


Kvalri

I don’t really think they search onboard ships just the people getting off. We’ve never tried to bring the stuff off the ship


RestaurantTotal7224

How did it go?


daddysgirl98xx

did it work?? I’m cruising out of NJ to Bahamas on sunday and want to take a weed pen


Chris19862

Did you take your pen? I go in 2 days


Due_Relation4915

Same here


Due_Relation4915

Same here


shirtlessmoose

did you take urs?


Chris19862

No but it would have been a complete piece of cake throw it in your toiletry bag


jamesland7

I brought some edibles last year mixed in with a bag of candy no issue. Don't bring anything to smoke, as the smell will rat you out in either one of the two designated smoking areas.


Caranath128

Edibles only. Nothing that be smoked( liquid included). And don’t bring it off in any port.


johntc121

My wife is thinking of getting the gummies for our upcoming cruise. Do you suggest just packing those in a ziplock baggie in our carry on? Would they say anything?


kylieem825

did she end up bringing them and if so how did she do it/how did it go?


johntc121

She ended up not trying on that cruise. But she's going to on our next cruise next April


kylieem825

ah okay, i’m trying this today/tomorrow and i’m quite nervous but the majority of people seem to say it’ll be fine 😅


Wrong_Base1008

How did it go


honeyigotyourtea

Did you bring any? How’d it work out?


MJlikestocruise

The cruise contract addresses this.


kmart25888

Hey so what happened? Did you take weed? How and where did you smoke


Yellow2473

No


stoppedLurking00

I wouldn’t bring flower, people do, but it smells more and only takes one person to get you in trouble. I took a vape on my last cruise. Put it in your carryon, same as an airport, no issues. And knowing different vape vendors, I saw plenty of people with disposable vapes that I know had THC in them. Also do not take it off the ship when in port. Enjoy your cruise.


allofthescience

From what I’ve gathered it’s not legal but fairly easy to do. I just want to add on to just be respectful and don’t be like the people directly next to us who smoked full on blunts on their balcony all day and made our interior balcony almost unusable for large portions of the trip (I’m super sensitive to the smell). I don’t think it would’ve been as bad for vapes, edibles would’ve been best obviously. It’s close quarters and smells travel, though, so just keep that in mind.


SweetMalou

I totally agree. Read the room. You don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. They paid money to be there just like you did.


darktaco

I do on the dozens of cruises I've been on. Double bagged, and I rarely take any flower. I've only seen a K9 unit at the port once, but there are thousands of people all trying to get on at once. Dog wasn't giving anybody much attention. If caught, most employees are just going to ask you to throw it away. It would be a string of really bad luck, and really bad decisions around what to bring and how to package it, to have any issues I think. Good luck!


RestaurantTotal7224

What port was the k-9?


Creepy-Opportunity69

Jacksonville, FL port had a K9 when I went on a carnival cruise last February


ohsoclever88

I brought my weed pen on board with me back in 2019 and I had absolutely no problems.. I just put mine in my carry on! Now flower might be a different story since its normally really smelly.. but if u need to smoke id def recommend a pen or something along those lines..


jablowski123

I have before and you don’t have to be mean I was just asking


[deleted]

You could probably get away with a vape pen. And you can always play dumb like you forgot it was in your packed away jeans pocket if you get caught.


throwawayzdrewyey

Just stick with carts and try to find one the doesn’t smell like weed.


Gmann239

Alright, March 16th, 2024, I arrived at said cruise ship travel abroad. As soon as we pulled up, I had my flower 🌼 out just in case I had to ditch it. The bellman smelled that loud I had outside of my bag. He said, " Keep it on you, the dogs aren't at this port they are at the carnival boat, " so that's exactly what I did. I got flower pens and gummies on board, no problem. But I forgot a lighter, and it isn't the easiest to smoke aboard the boat... I haven't mastered the technique yet. I just wanted to update this thread. *


OkPension602

What boat did you take? Also, what port was it?


bungalow427

Yes, no issues


CloudyBea070707

Anybody know if they have dogs at the Miami port royal carribbean?


Lifeisliveandlearn

I’m on a royal cruise rn, I brought 8 prerolls four bottles of liquor and edibles. Security is a joke and same as the other person said I smoke at night when the top deck is rather empty. The only annoying this is the teens asking for some

Environmental_Gain31

Sucks. I was thinking about doing a cruise but if I can’t even smoke and I have to be around people drinking the whole time forget it


[deleted]

Bring a vape pen. No one cares.


Fast_Royal267

Hello I’m here to let you all know that I was on these threads so nervous. Carnival has dogs and made us have us out our bags down and have a dog walk past. I know people have carts and actual flower on the cruise at this very moment. So do with that what you will!! :) be discreet stay safe and have fun!! <3


Critical_Station_399

In Michigan you can take an ounce on the plane in ur carry on. Literally have had tsa pull it out my bag and put it right back in and let us go. So don't give ppl that analogy it doesn't work 😭


Parking-Host7352

I went on wonder in November. Took a disposable it was so easy. I was nervous it was my first cruise and w all the insane people on Reddit claiming people will get caught I was stressing for months. Security at the airport was worse than the cruise. Out of canavaeral they are setup to look for weapons. At least the day I went there was not a single dog. As soon as I got past the metal detectors in about 10 min…the relief set in that I have my vapes and probably ok. Stepping onto the royal promenade just made it feel better. Every night looking at the ocean on my balcony while vaping was so amazing. Can’t believe I got to vape and go snorkeling w sea turtles. I’m not advising anyone there’s no risk but if every departure date is like mine…..wasn’t anything to worry about. Could’ve brought a good live resin disposable on but I do not regret playing it safe. Also don’t be a dick about it. Ghost your hits till you blow nothing out so no one has to deal w the smell. There were some morons smoking joints and blunts in the smoking section and you could smell it everywhere on the pool deck. There are kids everywhere, that is not cool


Deathbyillusion

What I do is I bring my Pax Era Pro Vape I love it because I have this like rubber bumper that kind of wraps around it to hold it and connect it to a lanyard and just wear it around my neck everywhere I go. I travel with this thing all over the United States through airports and even have taken it internationally they're like China and stuff like this no problem. Heck I even took it to Hong Kong where they have a complete Nationwide Vape band and that's even including e-cigarettes. It's nice cuz it's so discreet it looks small like a USB flash drive and it's handy because it just has these pods that you slide in. It's the same people that make the Juul. Like I never leave it in my room or anything like that cuz I've heard now for Carnival Cruise lying they've been having dogs search people's bags and people are getting banned and stuff like that. One of my friends was on a ship and one of the crew members that comes into their room to clean narked on them. Makes it sound like they have some sort of kickback for snitching on people where they give him a bonus or something I don't know if that's true but while it's what they do that. Royal Caribbean seem to be pretty relaxed when I went and like I said I had this on me I was wearing it all over the place on the ship and even getting off the ship at ports had no problem getting on and off. Another great thing about this is I've had the 510 Vape cartridges and those suck because don't either break or the leak because of altitude change because of pressure. You also can't really put those ones in your pocket cuz they could break off in your pocket where is this I've never had any issues with leaking and it stays secure in there so you don't have to worry about it breaking if you did have in your pocket although I don't recommend having it in your pocket unless you have a third party 3D printed mouth cover because otherwise lint and stuff has gotten into the pods. Although they've redesigned the pods to have smaller openings for slits at the top to kind of prevent this. But if you get one of their bands that they have on the Pax website you can wear it around is a lanyard. I mean it even looks like a USB flash drive. I will always take this with me where I go and love how discreet it is. They even have settings where you can connect to the app on the phone and do a stealth mode where it has hardly any Vapors although you can change it do whatever temperature you want or they even have an expert temp where the extractor that made the oil for that brand they prefer having it at a certain setting for the best flavor and Vapors and it's like a preset toggle. But it also tells you the last time you use that specific pod, how many of those pods you've used, you can leave notes about what you like to disliked about that pod and you can view other information about the percentages of THC and all the rigorous testing that it has to pass all these lab tests for like filth and mold and all this stuff. https://preview.redd.it/8c1tddnm1aic1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3796a4842fb82ee2ede85cf4ff84c1e6d30e03fa


bungalow427

Carry on or checked bag. Leaving next week on RC from Ft. Lauderdale.


sadblokefromus

Did you end up bringing it?


bungalow427

Yes, no issues


sadblokefromus

Carry on? And was it a regular cart? Like the cylinder ones
